Summer — Anything goes Vacation serves as catchall for rest, work, travel Most students had high expectations for their summer months. Somehow or another, everything one never had time for during the school year seemed to get filed under the excuse. “I’ll do It this summer!” All the Impossible dreams of sleeping ’til noon,” Losing just a few more pounds.” “getting a gorgeous tan. finally passing geometry. “going to the Bahamas. and “making mongo big bucks. had chances of becoming reality during the summer months. Senior Tricia Tully set high goals at the beginning of the summer. “I planned I would get a lot done this summer, like clean my room, apply to colleges, make money for college, but somehow or another time escaped me. Despite the realization that summer was not endless, many students realized goals of traveling. Summer camps, mission trips, visiting relatives, and just sight-seeing. French students, Polly Proctor, Tracy Shuford. Tricia Tully, Karen Moore, and Micheal Lively went to Canada for a month to live and study with Quebec families. Polly explained their agenda. “Each day, she said, we went to a college for language studies. We had four classes totally in French and then we spent the rest of the day do- ing French activities.” Senior Joanna Lawson also spent most of her summer traveling. “This summer.” she explained, I toured California. I got a gorgeous tan. I was supposed to make a lot of money for college, but I didn't. I guess I was too busy tanning.” While some traveled, others stayed home and went to school or work. Junior Andrew Ailera was one who did so. “I went to summer school, not because I had to. but rather to get ahead,” Andy said. “I took Geometry so 1 could take Algebra II my junior year. That way I could get some more math before college.” In th Fourth of July parade drumline member .

ack to basics Fourth grade view of High School World D'you remember, back in fourth grade, when you had to write a paragraph about “What 1 did in September”? Yeah, and it always included the standard stuff about the first day of school. Suppose you had to write one of those now. What would you put? Would it be something like this? I had a lot of fun this September. I was ex- cited about school beginning. The first day was hard. I had to go around and find all my new classes. I got lost lots. The week went by fast. On Thursday I went to school and saw a bunch of kids making other kids push pennies. I asked someone about it and they told me this was Howdy Day. They also said that there was a Howdy Dance Friday night. The week after that, they took us out of our English classes and sent the girls to the library and the boys to the auditorium. There, they talked to us and explained about something called Saturday School. That didn’t sound like fun. It was what happened to people who were always late to class. The football games and pep rallies started. The pep rallies were really fun. We jumped up and down, clapped our hands and screamed, “Colts!” During the month Principal Jerry Mc- Cullough announced the names of the National Merit Semifinalists, seniors who did well on the PSAT. Semifinalists were Scott Limer, Donna Crider, Will Bell, Robin Lyday, Chris Throckmorton, and Robin Coffelt. Sophomores also elected their class officers — Mike Watts, president; Karla Keathley, vice president; Angie Deller, secretary; Lisa Cope, girls social chairman; and Craig Patrick, boys social chairman. 16 ACTIVITIES
